“Going through third party costs more money"

The FRSC is urging Nigerians not to go through third parties as they charge higher than the fixed price-N6,350.

Nigerian driver's license

On Tuesday, 8th August, Mr Boboye Oyeyemi, the Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), publicly disclosed the cost of a driver's license in Nigeria.

At the one-day workshop organized by the commission for members of security agencies in the country on verification procedure of DL and number plates, he urged Nigerians to avoid getting their drivers' license through third parties as they charge higher than the fixed price-N6,350.

He added that the process of getting authentic licenses is very easy.

“Members of the public who give money and passport size photograph to anybody in order to collect driver’s license are doing disservice to themselves. Going through third party costs more money and produces fake license to unsuspecting applicants, which is an offence.

Cost of original driver’s license is N6,350 and the applicant must go for biometrics at any licensing office across the country to obtain the license. This is safer and costs less compared to the ones that pay third party for driver’s license and at the end of the day, they will be apprehended for carrying fake license.”

This recommendation comes after the FRSC has initiated the use of speed limiting devices.
